1. Safety & Warnings

1.3 Safety Instructions Governing Specific Operational Phases

• Avoid unsafe operation of the equipment.

• The machine is only to be operated when it is in good running order. Only operate the

equipment in a safe manner; all protective and safety devices must be in place and fully

functional. This includes removable safety devices, emergency shut-off equipment, noise-

protection devices and exhaust fans.

• The machine is to be checked for damage and defects at least once each work shift. Any

changes, including the working behavior of the machine, are to be reported immediately.

• If necessary, the machine is to be stopped and locked-out immediately.

• In case of a malfunction, the strapping machine is to be immediately stopped and locked-out

until the fault has been eliminated.

• Before starting the strapping machine, make sure that the area is clear and safe.

1. Safety & Warnings

1.5 Grounding

• This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces

the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord that has a grounding wire and an

appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, connect the ground wire to the ground

terminal of the plug. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the

grounding wire.

• Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not clear or

if in doubt about the proper grounding of the machine. Do not modify the plug provided; if it

will not fit the power outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN

ELECTROCUTION!

necessary for lifting the machine to the pallet. The casters must be fit nicely in the recess on the pallet

for proper packaging. Secure the machine to the pallet with plastic strapping across the top plates with

a layer of cardboard on it to avoid damage. Cover the machine with sturdy box for protection and hold

the whole box to the pallet with plastic strapping.

The machine can be removed from the pallet using forklift truck or other lifting device.

3.6 Operating Elements (Continued)

Function

Description

The photo-eye is disabled. The strapping cycle must be

initiated with Start switch on the control panel, Foot bar

switch or optional foot pedal.

A single strapping cycle: initiates a

cycle when a package is detected by the photo-eye. Delay

time for initiating the cycle is controlled by TIMER 1.

Multiple strapping cycles: initiates a

cycle when a package is detected by the photo-eye.

Cycling continuously until the photo-eye is no longer

“detects” a package. The cycle timing is determined by

TIMER 1 and TIMER 2.

Timer 1

Sets the delay time from the moment that a package is

detected until the first strapping cycle initiates. This

allows an operator to properly position a package for the

first strap. It is adjustable from zero to five seconds.

Timer 2

It’s the delay time (interval) between strap cycles. When

multiple strapping cycles are needed, this timer is for an

operator to determine the interval between each straps. It

is adjustable from zero to five seconds.

11. Foot Bar (Rear) (option)- Used to initiate a strapping cycle or to clear a

machine fault (reset).

7. Reel Release Switch – Used to release the dispenser

for removal.

8. Foot Bar (Front) – Used to initiate a strapping cycle or

to clear a machine fault (reset).

9. Foot Pedal Switch (option) – Used to initiate a

strapping cycle or clear a machine fault (reset).

10. Photo Eye Switch (option) – Used to automatically

initiate strapping cycle when a package is detected.
